Public Policy

AAAUW members are involved in Public Policies on the local, state, national and international levels and we have time-saving and impact producing tools that help us to make a positive difference through our advocacy on important issues.

AAUW’s advocacy work builds upon a century of responsible public participation at the local, state, national, and international levels. The member-endorsed Public Policy Program illuminates and advances AAUW’s mission of promoting equity and education for all women and girls. AAUW conducts comprehensive advocacy to pursue its public policy priorities, developing and implementing coordinated legislative and grassroots strategies to break through educational and economic barriers so all women have a fair chance.

Encouraging women to use their right to vote… sending emails to our elected officials…running for office…helping bill writers, advocates, and news professionals by publishing research on vital issues…AAUW impacts how government acts upon issues.
